Sad too that so many homes will be built on what was once someone's yard. Glad that the crocosmia will live on in your space and didn't just get discarded. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032728450352522.post-40626133583300049392017-03-20T10:10:33.874-07:002017-03-20T10:10:33.874-07:00This is a huge change, but it is obviously one you...This is a huge change, but it is obviously one you can do nothing about except accept it. You are making the best of it by planting the croscomia. They will be beautiful there and reminder of your old neighbors. All is looking lovely in your yard.

You and Tom keep such a beautiful yard, maybe that will encourage the new neighbors to do the same. Of course, that is not the case out here. A new family has moved in nearby. We can't see their place from where we live but their kids walk up the dirt path to ride the school bus. In two months time, they have littered our country road with plastic cups and styrofoam plates.

And I'm sure the bulbs appreciated being spared and all the work you did prying them apart to renew them, and give them new life. I got out there yesterday too, despite the aches and pains of what I think are probably arthritis (not officially diagnosed).

Some so small you can hardly get a lawnmower between the houses. I'd never heard of croscomia before. I can see why the humming birds would be attracted to it. We had sunshine today and worked cleaning up our patio.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032728450352522.post-41121566662350328282017-03-16T18:32:12.197-07:002017-03-16T18:32:12.197-07:00Although I suppose it was inevitable that your nei...Although I suppose it was inevitable that your neighbours get old and move on, it's still hard to see the changes that are taking place.
